Mike McBride - Of Counsel

Mike McBride is Idaho’s only certified specialist in both personal injury and workers’ compensation practices. This designation required intensive specialized training as well a significant amount of practice in both the courtroom and in Industrial Commission hearings. Thus, he is uniquely qualified to assess and secure benefits and compensation for injured on-the-job workers and non-work-related injuries, such as those sustained in car accidents and defective products.

Mr. McBride graduated from Brigham Young University in 1980 and obtained his Juris Doctorate degree at the University of Idaho in 1982. After law school, he served as a prosecuting attorney in Caldwell, Idaho from 1983-1984, trying criminal cases before juries in Canyon County. In 1984, he returned to Idaho Falls and established his injury claim practice.

His trial work has resulted in a $3 million verdict relating to defective farm equipment in federal district court and multiple trial verdicts exceeding $100,000.00. He brings this experience and insight to injured clients at Petersen, Parkinson & Arnold.
